He keeps loosing at amateur tournaments in first rounds and always, and I mean always there is a reason for this (according to him of course): bad lighting, bad balls, bad humidity, bad court surface etc. So, so sad...

So please don't feed that troll.

Great to see you here, ED. Have you ever seen me on the court? Maybe it's time to do that? We could compare our tennis knowledge in practice. I know you are in Warsaw, at least some times. I'll bring a camera and will publish our video on the internet.

You are so nice that I think that we could officially talk about a match between two most important Polish tennis forums.

What did I say that was wrong? And what did you actually say other than you are the best? First round loses are tough.... Better luck next time. Is that why you stopped competing? Losing to pushers with your perfect form? I think with all your math and physics training you could win a few matches huh? Guess what? You lose because your not any good.

The problem is not in the fact that I'm always right. Please understand that the problem is that you are always wrong.

As I said before, I know that a few players here have really deep knowledge. In fact, their posts were very helpful for me and for my understanding of tennis physics and biomechanics. I do not think that these people will participate in this thread, that's why I write to the group - here.

Of course I know that the other players here are not idiots, too. Someone who starts his adventure is not an idiot. Lack of knowledge is not a stupidity. What really counts is open mind.

I do not think that I should. As you can see, people here wrote much more rude posts here. I didn't start them. They tried to turn me into an idiot. They chose the style of discussion. I accepted their rules. As you can see, the match is not over. But I think the last set has begun.

My experience should not be important. A good argument should be a good argument.

As I said before, I'm a physicist, science journalist and a tennis player with 20+ years on the court (looong break in 90.). Basically, I work on tennis theory (physics, biomechanics). I can't say more at this time, you will have to wait a year for more details. I'm sure you can imagine, why.

I do not publish my videos to impress people. I do that for me and my friends and use them sometimes on other purposes. Just look at the titles: "Bad volleys", "Fun with volleys" - I'm sure you are not impressed.

The problem is that idiots here think that I think I'm the best one. What's funny, they are right, but at another place they think they are - and I will have a scientific proof that I was the best. But proofs need time.

Now, I'm waiting for TennisCoachFLA. I want to finish our first lesson (and last one, I hope).

arche3 you rock.... while I was still pondering complex strategies on how to beat sennoc if I were to play him, you already pointed out sending junk balls with left hand would suffice.

Ohh well I guess manners are another thing you lack. Too bad. Not my problem.

I'm not interested in playing you. I just included your results or lack there off so the discussion is complete. I'm not the one claiming to have an NTRP of 5.0.

I'm not even interested in talking to you but seeing you started to share your fantasies outside of Poland I just had to chime in. And I'm glad I did.

Hahaha, is senny threatening you not to post his 1st round results? Is he challenging you to a match to see who's better? He's probably telling you he's improved a lot since you last saw him, isn't he? What's next - winning is not important to him as he's only concerned with winning over himself and acquiring aesthetically pleasing, professional looking strokes?

I'm glad we have posters from around the world. Senny thought he could get away with telling lies after lies. Didn't think anyone was going to check your tournament results, did ya?

Usually I do not play at amateur tournaments, I hate the rules here in Poland. Come on, no warmups? Just one set? An unknown court? Should I kill myself to win against a typical amateur player?

A few years ago I started at a tournament where the matches were played as best of three. Great, I thought. Reality? Three matches in a day (9 sets...), all won, wrist injury and a phone call next day: "Sorry man, I can't play 1/4, I'm injured". The injury was so serious that the tournament took 2 months of my tennis life. So I play at tournaments for journalists only - and just to meet friends. If they want a real competition, we can always meet on a private court, I do not hide.

Last year I played three tournaments for journalists. My eyes aren't as good as years ago, high contrasts kill them. Have you ever played a match at noon, in January, when bright sun shines just into your eyes? Second tournament. July. Air temperature - 37 Celsius. Sorry, man, I will not compete against 20 years old at 37 Celsius and huge humidity. Third tournament. Winter. I was really ill and shouldn't play at all, but decided to do that just to give my opponents a possibility to play.

There is also a real problem with all these tournaments - recreational balls. Prince Tour are really horrible. They react as stones with my racquet and strings. I won't change my equipement and technique to win an unimportant recreational tournament.

Also, the whole year I had really serious problems with my wrist and they are not over now. So I'm really impressed that ED used that argument. But I understand him, he represents another Polish tennis forum. Good job, ED. Very typical for your forum. And your answer was very typical too. But please don't forget to contact with me next time in Warsaw. You are so nice that I really want to meet you on the court.

All polish tourney players please send only junk balls to Sennoc!
I've played a lot of guys like him. Slow out of shape wanna be big hitters. Hit a few balls to each corner and he will hit it out. How else do you explain losing every match in the first round? Errors. Plain and simple.

So, basically you don't play if it's hot, cold, day, night, over many sets or just one set.

This is seriously and utterly out of hand. You guys are saying that sennoc is immature and stupid, yet you're the ones bullying people over the internet. Looking up his results to embarrass him, making fun of his language skills, and disparaging his playing ability are purposefully malicious acts. Yes, the guy said some things that were a little silly, but you're all acting just as childishly by ganging up on him and making hostile remarks. Now, someone will point out that he has posted combative remarks as well, but you have to consider that the guy has dozens of posters ganging up on him and saying he sucks at tennis. It would be hard not to feel personally attacked. If he's really so silly, shouldn't you all show a greater level of maturity and disregard his comments? You all know and agree that his volleys are not superior to Nadal's, so what is to gain from attacking this guy?
